Halloween cupcakes

As Halloween is tomorrow I decided to have a go at some Halloween cupcakes.

They are simple, quick, fun and easy to make !!

Chocolate cakes 

Ingredients

4oz butter                         1 ½teaspoon cocoa powder
4oz caster sugar                 2 teaspoon milk
4oz self raising flour            ½ teaspoon vanilla essence

2 eggs 

Method 

1) Heat the oven to 180° fan 

2) Add butter and sugar to bowl and mix together until light and fluffy 

3) Alternately add eggs and sieving flour to mixture

4) Add cocoa powder 

5) Add milk and vanilla essence 

6) Fill cupcake cases until around 3/4 full 

7) Put in the oven for 15-20 mins 

Tip - use a kebab skewer to test if cakes are done. Stick the skewer in the middle of the one cake if come out with mixture on then the cakes aren't done so put in for a little longer but keep your eye on them because you don't want them to burn, now that would be scary !!!
